"15.7. Ihanan groteskia ja sopimatonta Greenawayta, kenties punaisempana kuin koskaan. Teoksen keskiössä olevassa metaelokuvallisessa näytelmässä, jonka roolihahmot kommentoivat välillä esimerkiksi näyttelijäpalkkioistaan tai roolituksistaan, tapahtuu ihme, josta hyvin harvat osapuolet hyötyvät, etupäässä itse ihmeen eli hedelmättömään valtakuntaan syntyneen poikalapsen sisar, joka esiintyy tämän pyhänä äitinä, sekä äärimmäisen tekopyhästi toimiva kirkko. Seksiä, v"

Few things I love about cinema (18 movies items)

"Photographically perfect frames Peter Greenaway's Draughtman's Contract Catherine Martin's Mourning for Anna Bergman's Cries and whispers Von Trier's Melancholia"

Ugliness and demeasure in cinema (106 movies items)

" Greenaway is a stong mixture between grotesque images, theatricality and baroque or architectural construction of frames. In this film, sexuality and blood often share the screen, and the artificiality of the film (showing a double story, the play and the backstage of it) deals with the strong ugliness of some images."

"Hyvin omituinen leffa, kuten Greenawayltä odottaa voikin. Visuaalisuus on oikein hienoa värinkäytön, laajakuvan hyödyntämisen ja kamerakompositioden ansiosta. Tarina ihmisten ihmelapsena pitämästä pojasta ja siitä kuinka hänen siskonsa sekä kirkko röyhkeästi hyödyntävät häntä omien etujensa ajamiseksi on ihan jees, mutta vaatii ainakin sulattelua vielä, mitään valtavan syvällistä kun en käsittelystä ainakaan ensikatselulla löytänyt. Äärimmäisen kiehtova tapaus joka"
